Fall Enrollment

Schedule requests for the next academic year will also go out with the summer schedule requests in early May. Each year all slots are held for current and incoming UO students. If spaces are still available, we will confirm our current non-student families by the end of July. On August 15th, any remaining spots will be opened to new UO faculty/staff, followed by new community families.

Summer Enrollment

In early May of each year, we send home schedule requests to determine the needs of parents for summer. The Co-op will provide as much flexibility for scheduling without putting it into financial difficulty. Enrollment is guaranteed for students from spring to fall without summer enrollment. A family that has a parent with student status for spring term and the following fall term will be allowed to pay student rates regardless of UO enrollment status during summer.‍

Changing from student to non-student

All children enrolled will be guaranteed continued enrollment if a parent has a University of Oregon degree seeking student status. If that parent graduates or stops taking classes during the academic year and no longer has student status, without a second parent with student status remaining enrolled, the Co-op will only be able to guarantee enrollment through the remainder of the academic year (June).

At that time (summer and/or the following fall), the Co-op may need to withdraw a non-student family for an incoming student family. Once there is no longer degree seeking student status, the rate will change to non-student, unless the family becomes a CEP student.

Steps of Enrollment (once a spot is offered)

Step 1

Enrollment Information

The enrollment information collected for each child provides vital information regarding your child’s background, individual needs, and health, where you can be reached in an emergency, and who is permitted to pickup your child. Our enrollment information is collected online through Guidestar. A link to fill out the enrollment information will be provided to each family and must be filled out before the first day of care in our program.

Step 2

Enrollment Requirements

*This is to be completed before the first day of school

Parent contract with child's schedule
Child Enrollment and Authorization form
Immunization Records
USDA Forms
Transportation form and agreement (if applicable)
Parent Policy Book agreement form

Step 3

Intake Meeting

A meeting will be scheduled before your child starts coming to the Co-op Family Center to give you an opportunity to meet the lead teacher(s) in your child's classroom and learn a little about your child and family. The orientation takes about a half hour and provides the opportunity for the staff to go over our educational philosophy, parent’s and the Co-op’s responsibilities, details about your child, as well as policies and procedures. It also gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you might have.

*Information changes

Enrollment information will be updated at the beginning of fall term each year. If your child or family information changes during the year, please login into our Guide star portal and update your information.
